After researching every single modal window, lightbox, slimbox, etc out there nothing fit the bill. Granted some of them were very nice but only fit a specific purpose, others were a nightmare on the code end, and others were just hacks of another. None of them truly supported all of the features we needed and those that were close could not be easily adapted without a bottle of Prozac near by. Other caveats were the complete lack of ability to style and position the system, and the insane over-kill of some of the systems trying to reproduce either another desktop (As if most computer users aren't confused enough) or the reproduction of a popup window (Show me someone who likes popup windows...). Lastly, most people didn't actually test for their media types and how they behaved in other browsers and operating systems (Yes the movies and Flash work in Firefox for the Mac).

Introduction An article about animated scrolling with jQuery inspired me to make a small, customizable plugin for scrolling elements, or the window itself. How to specify what to scroll ? Simple, all the matched elements will be scrolled, for example: $('div.pane').scrollTo(); If you need to scroll the window (screen), then use: $.scrollTo(); How to specify where ?

Settings Getting the real scrollable element out of a node In order to find the real element whose attributes will be animated, you need to call $.fn. $(window).

Best Practices. Animated Scrolling for Same-Page Links. Many months ago, I posted a note to the jQuery discussion list showing a script I wrote that uses the Interface plugin's ScrollTo() method to automatically scroll smoothly to any id or named anchor on the current page when clicking on a same-page link. The code was unwieldy and unneccessarily long, but it worked. A little game of one-upmanship followed among some of the gurus, ultimately reducing my 18 lines of code to 11. And that made me happy—until I tried the code in Internet Explorer 6. It didn't throw an error, but the smooth scrolling didn't seem to work in that one sad-sack browser. Since I was writing the code for my day job and I didn't have a lot of extra time to investigate the issue, I just left my initial code in there and shrugged it off.

The other night, however, as I was digging around some old files, I came across the code from my discussion list friends again, so I decided to see if I could fix what ailed it in IE. This is what they had arrived at: JavaScript: Try it out. Dynamic Drive DHTML Scripts- CMotion Image Gallery. Note: Updated Aug 24th, 06' by jscheuer1 for various improvements.
